Oh that's easy! Black and white, then shoot another and another and another until the film is used up. I just wouldn't release them to the media under my real name and bank account though.

What kinda way is that to talk about our future president?

love it, almost spilled my coffee........

Personally I think Cepia would be appropriate and tilt the camera a bit for the rushing out to sea effect. Video works good too and you can select the exact frame you need....maybe even get some audio. You might be able to put it on some of the audio cards at the book store. Try to frame a half submerged tree or something for that desperate effect.

Hahahaha ... didn't see that twist coming !!! Funny stuff.

.... color prints for me. National Enquirer doesn't pay as much for the B/W ones.

I'd toss her a brick for a floatation device.

I didn't think you could take a witch's picture...or was that a vampire??

No matter, it wouldn't work either way

That's funny.

However, she's a politician. And we all know that politicians are full of hot air-- so wouldn't she be able to float indefininitely? So the whole scenario is pretty unrealistic, imo


But I ask you this: what would you do if this situation ACTUALLY happened???

As much as I detest her actions and what she represents, I would have to save her. I'd make her earn it by promising never to run for office again-- and get THAT on tape

Jim Lane

Black and White of course..
and I might use a slower shutter on some to get a bit of blur of the moving mud.
I would take several rolls so I can have plenty of material to work with.
I am still trying to beat out Ansel Adams.
How many wallets did you want?

rebal

color, after i gave her a concrete life jacket

Wouldnt the camera break

at the sight of that woman? I dont think pics are possible without severe BOMBING of the camera But after the BOMBING color please, then auction the pic out to the highest tabloid bidder...

Color. HD video.... they made final cut pro and photoshop for something, didnt they?


Sell different frames to different people, know who you sold em to, then sue em all when they steal em...
